Engineering bf

I’m dating an engineering student (he’s first year) and we’ve been having communication issues: I feel like it’s not enough and he feels it’s enough. Because of this I broke up with him out of anger, we’re now trying to figure this out and being honest with each other, he told me how he genuinely doesn’t have time to talk on the phone or FaceTime and he does want to talk and see me but he’s way too busy. I feel like he is being completely honest which I’m glad about but I’m just having a hard time with not having phone calls and stuff, simply because I miss him (we don’t see each other much). I don’t want to end this because of school because we’re best friends who have a strong bond and connection so I’m very grateful , any ideas/suggestions on how I can just get over this and be content with what we have?
